title: Continuous multiple location body temperature measurement of infants.
abstract: This study was done to evaluate the most suitable location of skin temperature sensors to enable long term temperature measurements of infants. A high accuracy eight channel temperature monitor was developed. Linear semiconductor sensor probes were constructed in association with this. System accuracy and stability were tested. Preliminary clinical studies have shown considerable variation from the core temperature for all surface measurement locations.
